What is a flow wrapper?

A flow wrapper, or horizontal form-fill-seal machine, creates a continuous bag around a product from a roll of film, sealing it with a longitudinal seal and two end seals.

What types of products can this machine typically package?

This type of machine is versatile and commonly used for packaging solid, regular-shaped products such as biscuits, chocolates, small components, and medical items.

Is specialist film required for a flow wrapper?

Yes, flow wrappers typically require heat-sealable film in roll form. The film type (e.g., OPP, laminate) depends on the product and desired barrier properties.

What maintenance is typically involved with a used flow wrapper?

Regular maintenance commonly includes checking and replacing wear parts like heating elements, belts, and knives, along with general cleaning and lubrication. Electrical and mechanical checks are also advised.

Can this machine handle printed film?

While some models are configured for non-printed film, many flow wrappers can be fitted with an optional print registration system to handle pre-printed film accurately.
